Cristiano Ronaldo has been labelled as the player of his generation by Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane, who has backed the forward to rediscover his goalscoring form.

Madrid's 3-0 win over Eibar on Sunday represented another frustrating appearance for Ronaldo, who has just one LaLiga goal to his name this season.

Ronaldo, who netted 42 times across all competitions last term, squandered a glut of golden chances after Marco Asensio had put Madrid two up at the Santiago Bernabeu, before Marcelo capped off the win late on.

However, Zidane believes the 32-year-old, who has had no issues finding the net in the Champions League so far this season, will come good domestically.

"There's no need to worry if Cristiano does not score, the important thing is that he has chances," Zidane told reporters.
